I'm not talking about too large for your wrist. I realize that most guys around TimeZone prefer a 38mm watch to a 35mm watch. But is the Tangente getting too large for its own movement and its own design concept?

Take a look at this:

It's the Tangente LE Hübner. On the left is the women's model (33mm), and on the right is the men's model (38mm). They use the Alpha movement, NOMOS's standard time-only movement. But on some of the German-language watch discussion sites, there has been pushback over how high the seconds subdial sits. People say there is too much white space between the bottom of the subdial and the bezel.

Below is a montage I made, using stock images of the 33m Tangente, 35mm Tangente, and the 38mm Tangente. Once upon a time, NOMOS made the Tangente in 35mm. Period. It was considered a unisex watch. Now, bowing to the demands of the market, they have bumped up the no-date Tangente to 38mm and call it a "man's watch" while creating a smaller version at 33mm expressly for women. From a sales perspective, I understand why they did it, but I am not convinced that it works aesthetically.
